Chōfu City, Tokyo – Local businesses are invited to participate in the upcoming “GeGeGe Festival 2025,” an event designed to celebrate the beloved manga and anime series “GeGeGe no Kitarō” and its creator, Shigeru Mizuki, who had a strong connection to the city. Chōfu City announced today, August 17th, 2025, that applications are now open for businesses to become cooperative stores for the festival. This initiative offers a valuable opportunity for local establishments to attract new customers and leverage the popularity of the “GeGeGe” franchise.

Cooperative stores will play a vital role in enhancing the festival atmosphere.
